Re: Defenders of the Faith on MDB who have the best arguments

[_Themis]

You are still blaming others Nehor and not taking responsibility for your own apelike behavior.

Don't expect that to change anytime soon.

[_Simon Belmont]

Are you under the impression that most of the critics here engage defenders of the faith in rational argument when presented with the opportunity?

I am under no such impression. Usually all I see here is whining about LDS apologetics, and "how come the church hates linux" threads.

Honestly I think Liz picked me because she has been around long enough to remember when I tried to hold real discussions. I'd say something and get flippant responses from Schmo and Merc, an insulting pic from Infymus, a straight insult from Porter, and your standard Scratch derail trying to make it about the people involved.

I wasn't here then, but things haven't changed with the posters mentioned.

So I stopped. The way to win here is cheap word-games, dragging out old posts to discredit your opponent, and flippancy.

So true. Welcome to Simon Belmont's QoM.

[_Blixa]

How about a thread on which apologist has the best butt?

Wade has my vote.

And that's why you've got mine!

I see many of your own threads which are on the same level, and I notice like Nehor you avoid the substantive ones that talk about LDS issues. You are a part of the problem.

What blame? I'm not ashamed of anything I've said or done here so why would I need to blame anyone? I'm explaining why I behave in a certain way here. It's because I choose to. I feel no guilt about it.

I won't win this award and I wasn't trying for it here either. Many of my comments here are shallow. To quote a TV character though: "At least there is symmetry."

When I want real discussion I can (and do) go elsewhere.

You blamed others for your supposed change in posting. I am sure you don't feel any guilt in any apelike behavior on this board.

I already know your postings are shallow. :)

I always laugh when people use this excuse for not providing real discussion. Apologists avoid it here because they simply do not have the evidence in their favor on the core LDS issues. That's why they need a board that moderates in their favor. Have fun.

We know, Nehor.

I voted for Bokovoy.

I am not certain that he is the "defender that has the best arguments" (perhaps he is?). But I am certain that the manner, respect, compassion, kindness, and humility he freely shares while "arguing" is most admirable and worthy of many ears.
I enjoy his "light".


It has long been my opinion that David represents his chosen faith very very well. (A good and decent man to be sure)

Peace,
Ceeboo

Really? Where?
